bloody and muddy
My first cylocross race of the season could've gone better. I took a wet corner too fast and kissed the pavement. Still, I got up and finished--why waste a drive to New Hampshire?
My face looks like hell, but at least that won't keep me from riding.
Good for you for finishing the race, Hannah! I hope you heal up quickly - that Triple Antibiotic should help ;-).
We left before finding you again yesterday - sorry about that! I will make sure to always carry that stuff with me though - you were the second person who used it yesterday.
Sorry about your crash... heal fast! Way to get up and keep racing. You have the most beautiful bike!! I was drooling over it in the parking lot well before the race. :) Awesome!
Timidly elite at her creative and athletic occupations, Miss Hannah rides bikes and tries to make art. She races on the road and cyclocross, and, with some chagrin, is a graduate of a prestigious art school. She likes to bake pretty cupcakes, and someday will wear vintage party dresses every day. Her favorite animals are chickens, her favorite color is pink, and her favorite foods are ice cream and dark green leafy vegetables.

See you at Suckerbrook?
Thanks! I'll bring you a new tube of that stuff at the next race.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteBut you know what they say - chicks dig scars!
Don't worry about replacing the tube - comes pretty cheap at CVS ;-). Besides, it's the least I could offer you!

I seriously want to cry whenever I look at you all scraped up. Seriously, that better be the last face plant of the season...or career.
